A boy is a animal. The way
you kin tell a boy from a horse is
that a horse is got fore legs an Il
boy amt got but too, an a horses
legs is longer than boys, an boy
has got hair on his head an wears
klose an horse don't.

coz a horse don't have to pull off
his cloze when he goes to bed, an
he don't have to say his prayers.
There is mennie kline of boys.
There is the white boy an the
yaller boy an the niger boy.
Kowza is not like boys cause

Boys is very much like dogs,
cause boys has got white teeth an

jess like the dog.
Dogs don't love to be washed
an a dog don't love it neither.
Some mothers think boy amt
fittin for nuthin bat to tote koal

So weak and exhausted is because your
blood is impure. AS well expect the
sanitary condition of city to be per-

sewerage, as to expect such conpli-

blood circulating even to its minuteSt
veins. DO you know that every drop
of your two or three gallons of blood
passes through the heart and lungs i'll

IN an excellent letter to the
farmers of Georgia, Commission
er Henderson says that there is
little doubt Of the fact that the
Georgia cotton crop of 1886, in
the aggregate, yielded less to the
farmers who produced it than the
aggregate cost of its production.
The logical conclr sion, from which
there is 40 escape, is that cotton
planting in Georgia, as rule,
does not Fay the producer; and,
to the extent that farming is
based upon the theory that cotton
should be the leading crop, it is
also true that farming does not
pay. The Commissioner points
out the only remedy for this
trouble, but as it is the cid, I'M
needed advice to make the farm
self-supporting, it is useless to re-
peat it.

An IL rOIc Act.
Augusta Chronicle.

Augusta Chronicle
5 sturdy afternoon the BroAl
street people witnessed an act
that for courage and GOODNESS
stands almost unparalleled in
the history of our city. The
band belonging to the Salvation
Army was stationed in front OF
the Confederate monument when
horse attached to a carriage be-
came frightened at the music and
dashed away at a rapid rate the
driver, a colored man, using every
effort to hold him. The horse
ran down the street a short dis
lance, then made a circle, turned,
bearing down on the large crowd
who were listening to the music
Of the band. At this instant
Capt. Frank HOerl, a member of
the band, sprang toward the horse
and with an almost snperhumqn
effort caught him oy the bride
and stopped him. The act was
witnessed by a large crowd, all Of
whom pronounce it one OF the
most heroic ever seen. After
quieting the horse the Army knelI
in prayer, thanking God for til
safe deliyerance.

A bill has been introduced in the
Arkansas legislature to render more efi-
cient the free school system, by making
each township school district, and
providing for the election of three di'
Tectors therein. We do not know whether
municipal or congressional townships are
meant, but in either case we think it a
step in the right direction. Sharp county
has about 60 school districts at present
and new ones are being formed at almost
every term of the county court, CT eating
an endless amount of confusion and
dissatisfaction, to the great detriment of
the educational system. 1t is exceeding
iy difficult to ascertain the boundaries OF
the various districts as they now exist,
owing to the changes and transfers that
occupy large space on the county court
records. Indeed it would be impossible
to make d correct school map of the
county. Such law would not affect the
number Of schools in the county, while it
would greatly simplify and correct the
making of the assessment and tax books
and the collection of the taxes, which
under the present system is nearly akin
to an impossibility. Besides it would
reduce greatly the number of persons
who are now exempt from jury service
and work on the public highways; and
this of itself is a strong point in flvOr OF
the proposed law. There are a consider
able number excused from juries at every
term of circuit court who are exempt by
reason Of being directors, which adds
quite an amount to the Indebtedness Of
our county. There are now about lSO
school directors in Sharp county who
cali, and most Of them do, Claim their ex
emption from road duty, If the new
bill refers to municipal townships, then
we would only have "a, and if to congres
sional townships, about 66 persons who
are thus exempt. and we would have in
either case over 100 men and over 900
more days work during tGe year on our
public roads. For these and many other
good reasons we say let the bill pass

An American named Sproul was hung

everything was done that could be to stay

but all to no avail. Sproul was hanged,
Since then one Of the prosecuting wit

was false, and friend of Sproul coming
from California swears to an alibi for the

for the unfortunate man. A brother of

articles are written by correspondents
